Hi Debconf people, here's a grave bug filed against tex-common which
must in fact be debconf's fault:

Eric has debconf-2.0 installed (version 1.4.59).=20=20
I'm a bit confused about the versions we have - there's debconf,
debconf-2.0 (but that seems to be a virtual package), and cdebconf
(which is clearly not the issue here).

Don't you have Dialog.pm installed? I have (sid chroot):
$ dpkg -L debconf | grep Dialog perl5/Debconf/ FrontEnd/ Dialog. pm perl5/Debconf/ Element/ Dialog perl5/Debconf/ Element/ Dialog/ String. pm perl5/Debconf/ Element/ Dialog/ Text.pm perl5/Debconf/ Element/ Dialog/ Note.pm perl5/Debconf/ Element/ Dialog/ Multiselect. pm perl5/Debconf/ Element/ Dialog/ Boolean. pm perl5/Debconf/ Element/ Dialog/ Select. pm perl5/Debconf/ Element/ Dialog/ Password. pm perl5/Debconf/ Element/ Dialog/ Progress. pm
